Okatie, South Carolina - September 2024
Welcome to my first blog of 2025.
Let’s head into the new year with enjoyment, enthusiasm and above all creativity for an exciting 2025 and beyond.
The most important mindset to engage in January is a clear vision and focus for what you would like to achieve during the coming months, or even years.
I’d like to share with you my vision to achieve my goals.
Looking back at the past 28 years since I started my business in the wonderful world of photography – SMS Creative Photography, now called Stella – the one thing that has remained a firm constant is the connection to you, my customers. To craft everlasting photographs to reflect on for very many years to come.
Whether you are amongst the first families and businesses I photographed or we have met more recently. The message and intention remains the same – to demonstrate just how valuable time is. Unless these moments are captured and printed they fade rapidly from ones mind and become memories, sometimes forgotten ones.

With the passing of time I have learnt so much along the way, and it’s not just taking photographs.
For example…
Running and growing a successful business
Communicating on different levels with a variety of people
Learning new technology – after all, it was a roll of film in the camera in 1997 when I opened the doors to my shiny new business
Creating an online presence via a website and social media
Marketing to the right demographic
Growing and maintaining your Brand
Cashflow
Understanding above all what your customer wants and how to deliver a first class product and service…
With all of this in mind it brings me onto what’s in store for 2025 and how I can share my knowledge and expertise with you so you can benefit.

I’m always open to other projects you may have on the horizon to photograph different events or lifestyle changes in your life.
For example…
A before, during and after transformation of a home or garden project
The gathering of memorabilia and photographs to create a bespoke tailor made book to give to someone very special to celebrate a landmark in time
Curating photographs and artworks to display in your home or office selecting the mounts and frames and design for your wall space
Life is a continuous story of fleeting moments and I feel privileged to be able to photograph yours.
This link tells you a little bit more about my works as a professional photographer.
Thank you
